|---|---|
| Materials science, crystallography and X-ray diffraction notions | |
| Course Objectives | |
| All areas of the industry are concerned with glasses and vitreous materials. The aim of the course is to give to the future engineers the knowledge necessary to study this original class of materials and their application. |
|
| Syllabus | |
| I-Non-crystalline solid: Definition and criterion of non-crystallinity,: example of amorphous silicon with introduction of the notion of random continuous network. II-Thermodynamics and kinetics: Study of the glass transition, residual entropy of a glass, crystalline growth conditions, TTT diagrams. III-Study methods: Methods using scattering of radiation, determination of the radial distribution function and the function of pair correlation. IV-Structural Models: Structural models for describing metals, metal-metalloid and metal alloys, and oxide glasses. |
